Our Hessenpark tour continues here. It was such a beautiful fall day, perfect in every way.




It’s amazing to me that the wood here somehow survives for Centuries!!


This path is a place I’ll return to in my favorite dreams, my happy place.

This little Wegkapelle from Weyhers was built in 1643. Weg means “way” or a place to worship as you go on your way. What a wonderful idea.


Here’s another of the dozens of buildings waiting to be reconstructed:



A mushroom garden:







This stove is very much like the one my Grandma Elsa had in her kitchen. She burned wood from pruning the grape vines here, and kept her pot for tea warm throughout the day. Most of her daily cooking was done on her wood stove.



This was an area with lots of old stuff, sort of a holding area.



This was a beekeepers house where we learned about bees and honey.

These spinning contraptions are for extracting honey from the honeycombs.

This Jewish synagogue was had a memorial upstairs honoring Jews who were killed in the Holocaust.


Tour continued in the next post!
